TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL LEMON, Jr., of Hoboken, Hudson county, New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Lubricator; and' I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying' drawings, forming part of this specification. l

This invention consists in arranging a rod with a valve upon it in a lubrieationg globe or vessel, in such a manner that the quantity of oil which is allowed to pass into the bearing or journal can be regulated with the greatest exactness by the roll from its `upper end.

The drawing represents :i vertical central section of the luhrieator.

A is the globe or vessel which contains the oil. B is a tube, to which the globe is attached. C is the rod which passes through the cap and globe, and down into the tube B. D is the cap which screws on to the neck ot' a globular ring, D', which is secured to the top of `the globe A, as seen in the drawing. The tube B is attached to the cross-head or pitman of a steam engine, or in any other situation where it may be desired to use a lubrieator, by the screw or lower end a. The upper end of this tube passes up into the globe. There is a reeess or annular groove at c, around thebody` oi' the tube, into which the lower portion of the globe fits. ci represents peeking under the globe and in the groove. e is a nut which screws on to the top of the tube B, and which fastens 'thev globe to the tube, as seen. fis a 'conical valve on the red the seat of which valve is the top ofthe tube.

The rod is operated or raised and lowered by taking hold of the ballg on its upper ends, and there is sufficient friction on the rod, where it passes through the cap and ring D', to keepit in place after the valve has been so adjusted by the rod that the desired quantity of oil is discharged from the globe through the tube. Around the sides of the nut e there is a chamber, h, where all sediment from the oil will be deposited. The` globe A is glass; the tube and other fittings may be of brass or other suitable metal.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination and arrangement of the globe A, tube B, nut e, rod c, with valvej', and caps' D D', substantially as described for the purpose specified.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 10th day of April, 1867.
